An information device includes a reader, and a data processor. The reader reads, from a removable medium, ticket data that is provided from a server upon successful authentication, and that includes information representing a content of data processing to be executable upon the successful authentication. The data processor executes the data processing represented in the ticket data.

A method of moving a rights object according to the present invention includes the following steps. First, a rights object in the memory card is disabled. Then, the rights object is copied from the memory card in response to a retrieval request and installed to a content player. After the installation, a removal request is transmitted to the memory card and the rights object in the memory card is removed (deleted). After transmitting the removal request, second state information is generated and held in the content player to indicate that the removal of the rights object in the memory card has not yet been completed and that the rights object installed in the content player is conditionally enabled. When the memory card receives the removal request, the memory card removes the rights object from the memory card and transmits a removal response for notifying completion of the removal to the content player.

A mobile terminal apparatus is provided to process a copyright-protected content based on rights that permit the processing of the content. The mobile terminal apparatus includes a priority information selecting unit selecting a piece of priority information associated with one of many processing conditions for the content to be processed, from among pieces of priority information for determining a priority for each of the rights. The mobile terminal apparatus also includes a right selecting unit determining a priority of each of the rights based on the selected piece of priority information, and selecting a right having a highest priority among the rights, according to the determined priority. The mobile terminal apparatus also includes a content processing unit processing the content based on the selected right.

Processing of content with rights associated priority information based on conditions

In a terminal, a content reproduction section reproduces a video signal and an audio signal from a received transport stream. A telephony processing section performs processing necessary for voice communication. A status detection section detects a time point at which the status of voice communication changes. A control section writes the transport stream received by the content reproduction section in a content storage section when the status detection section detects start of voice communication, and reads and sends the transport stream stored in the content storage section to the content reproduction section according to a predetermined timing. The content reproduction section reproduces a video signal and an audio signal from the transport stream read by the control section.
